PROJECT ABSTRACT Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial group in the U.S., yet the pressing need to address mental health has been woefully underrecognized, with little resources designated to address these concerns. Asian American adolescents report the highest level of racial discrimination by peers relative to other racial groups, a major issue given the robust relationship between discrimination and mental health. Critically, Anti-Asian discrimination and assaults have increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic with blame cast on Asians for bringing about the pandemic. Despite the urgent needs and the concerns expressed by parents about discrimination, few studies have examined how Asian American parents and adolescents recognize and respond to anti-Asian racial discrimination. Through survey and virtual videotaped observations that take place in their homes, our project will examine how Chinese American parents and adolescents determine whether an incident is discriminatory and problematic. Through the sample of 116 dyads, we will also study how Chinese American parents and their adolescent children (16-18 years) talk about racial bias. Parents and children are asked to discuss what they would do when confronted by a hypothetical scenario with which they are the target of an act of racial bias (e.g., being blamed for the COVID-19 pandemic in a public space). Our objective is to describe the ability to recognize and the means in which parents and adolescents respond emotionally and behaviorally to such a situation. Both non-verbal and verbal content obtained from the observational sessions will be captured. These include analysis of emotional expressions as well as what parents and adolescents state they would do in such a situation (e.g., explain to the perpetrator that they are wrong, use humor). We will also examine any suggestions or expectations that parents and adolescents would have for one another if such an encounter were to occur. We will examine how parent and youth characteristics (their report of discrimination, ethnic identity) and the parent-child communication style accounts for observed behaviors. How these behaviors relate to self-reported parent and youth mental health and adjustment (depression and anxiety symptoms, and self-esteem) will be determined. Observational studies on parent-child conversations about encountering racial bias against their own group is rare and has not been conducted with Asian American families. This project is novel as the observational approach lays the groundwork for understanding specific features in the response to racial bias.

项目摘要 亚裔美国人是美国增长最快的种族群体，但迫切需要解决心理问题 令人遗憾的是，人们对健康的认识严重不足，用于解决这些问题的资源很少。亚洲人 与其他种族群体相比，美国青少年受到同龄人的种族歧视程度最高 鉴于歧视与心理健康之间的密切关系，这是一个重大问题。关键是，反亚洲人 在 COVID-19 大流行期间，歧视和攻击显着增加，并归咎于 亚洲人造成了大流行。尽管有迫切的需求和家长的担忧 关于歧视，很少有研究探讨亚裔美国父母和青少年如何认识和看待歧视 回应反亚裔种族歧视。通过调查和虚拟录像观察 在他们的家中，我们的项目将研究华裔美国父母和青少年如何决定是否 该事件具有歧视性且存在问题。通过116对情侣的样本，我们还将研究中国人如何 美国父母和他们的青春期孩子（16-18 岁）谈论种族偏见。父母和孩子都是 被要求讨论当面对以他们为目标的假设场景时他们会做什么 种族偏见行为（例如，被指责为公共场所的 COVID-19 大流行）。我们的目标是 描述父母和青少年的识别能力以及情感反应的方式 行为上对这种情况。从观察会议中获得的非语言和语言内容 将被捕获​​。其中包括对情绪表达的分析以及父母和青少年的情绪表达分析 说明他们在这种情况下会做什么（例如，向肇事者解释他们错了，使用幽默）。我们将 还要检查父母和青少年对彼此的任何建议或期望，如果 这样的遭遇是会发生的。我们将研究父母和青少年的特征（他们的报告） 歧视、种族认同）和亲子沟通方式解释了观察到的行为。如何 这些行为与父母和青少年自我报告的心理健康和适应（抑郁和焦虑）有关 症状和自尊）将被确定。亲子对话的观察性研究 遇到针对自己群体的种族偏见的情况很少见，而且亚裔美国人也没有遇到过这种情况 家庭。该项目很新颖，因为观察方法为理解特定的方法奠定了基础 应对种族偏见的特点。
